Tires MICHELIN or BRIDGESTONE
Unless something new dropped recently the Michelin IceX still dominates when it comes to rolling resistance for a snow tire. Comparing them to the stock energy savers in the same weather conditions, I could perceive no decrease in efficiency.
Tyre btr change good one. Save tens of dollars risk your life not worth it.
Last time changed bridgestone x2 $280
You'll never find a better all around tire. Sure some tires will corner better or handle puddling better but for every condition (which most of us see) they're the best. I've owned them all and for towing 12,000 lbs on and slightly off road I trust Michelins.
For tires, just buy brands that don't spend over 50% of their budget on sponsorship and advertising like Michelin, Pirelli etc...
At Walmart, was $900 for all 4 tires (22 inch rims) balanced and mounted.
I recently got these (21") for my R1T, around 2,000km on them so far. Much better traction, slightly better range, quieter and smoother drive. Depending where you are, they are not winter tires. I'm in Nova Scotia, Canada, and still slide left/right in slushy snow in all purpose mode while driving half the speed limit.
Great experience. Ride is a little quieter, Michelins are great on snow and ice, no perceptible change in range for me at least. Almost 2k total after certs that’s the only thing I don’t like. 31k miles on the pirellis about 5k in on the new Michelins. I drive a gen1 R1T quad.
but tbh michelin is the top brand for a reason, i’ve seen them last for literally 100k miles
Since they're now legal in my class I'll probably give them a try later this season after my current Bridgestone RE-71RSs are done
The Bridgestone A005 is less highly regarded in the snow and more for wet and cold (i.e Scotland), but both are miles and miles clear of a summer tyre in the snow.
I put CC2 on my escape hybrid same exact size as original and took a 8mpg hit in mileage from day one. Over 10k miles now and no change
